Chapter 153: Floating Tea in a Cup
Goodbye Lan Shang, Su Yu naturally wanted to ask about Fu Tang, what was different from previous years was that now Lan Shang mentioned Fu Tang again, not as deliberately distant as before, but with some deep pampering in his eyes, which made Su Yu understand at a glance that maybe her wolf-like master finally succeeded after countless "calculations" against Elder Lan Shang.
From the bottom of his heart, Su Yu was also happy for them.
Lan Shang stayed by Wei Niancheng's side, spending his effort to renew his life, Su Yu knew that he was in order to ensure the stability of southern Xinjiang, and there was this life-and-death connection, maybe as long as Wei Niancheng wanted to live, as long as he held real power one day, he would never let the superior do anything with bad intentions to southern Xinjiang, Wei Niancheng lived for one more year, and Lan Shang could ensure the stability of southern Xinjiang for one year.
Speaking of which, in Su Yu's heart, Lan Shang is not a compassionate character, when she never found out that she had snow hibiscus in her blood, it was Lan Shang's handiwork to help Wei Niancheng massacre teenagers and girls in Baishui Village. There are many faces to people in this world, for those young girls and the victims who made the medicine and blood soup, Lan Shang is heinous, but for the stable and quiet southern Xinjiang, Lan Shang is the elder they love and worship.
Because Lan Shang had the blood of the people of Southern Xinjiang in his body, there were too many people there that he wanted to protect.
And Su Yu has always had no deep hostility towards Lan Shang, of course, he has never had any friendly feelings after seeing his bloody hands, but now because of Futang, Su Yu feels that the relationship with Lan Shang is a little closer.
When Su Yu talked to Lan Shang, when he mentioned Wei Niancheng, Lan Shang always sighed, never said anything, but shook his head and said regretfully: "He was, very different from now. ”
This is Lan Shang's evaluation of Wei Niancheng, Su Yu savored this sentence, and seemed to recall in his mind that Xiao Yi also said this, he said that Wei Niancheng in the past was not what he is now.
Su Yu didn't understand what he meant, and if he asked again, neither of them would elaborate, but it didn't matter, Su Yu felt that no matter what kind of person Wei Niancheng was, as long as she made a deal with him, as long as he sent troops to Beidi to rescue Xiao Yi, he would be the most useful person to her.
Of course, since Su Yu is here, it is expected that Wei Niancheng will definitely agree to her request, after all, there are not many people in this world who don't want to live.
There are soldiers, the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, even if Su Yu has monstrous ability, but the power of one person is far from enough. Looking at the whole Liang, there are many generals, brave and resourceful, but there are only a handful, in today's world, Wen Ke into the martial arts can be set by the heroes with a strategy, in addition to Xiao Yi who is now in Beidi, in fact, Su Yu has another candidate, if he sits in the battle, plus Zicheng Li Liang, and the people under Yan Wei Niancheng help each other, send troops to defeat Beidi, there will be more chances of victory.
In retrospect, that person also said to Su Yu that if she was in trouble, she could go to him at any time, but now she had to be cheeky and go to him to find a favor.
Now in the court of Daliang, in addition to Wei Niancheng, the master of the country who covers the sky with one hand, the remaining figure who is on the rise is the Zeng Cong of Wei Niancheng's righteous brother.
At that time, Zeng Cong was a businessman who was rich enough to rival the country, Wei Tong in order to win over Zeng Cong, a living Pixiu, and Zeng Cong also recognized Wei Tong as his father-in-law in order to find a reliable backer.
And Wei Niancheng seems to take special care of this younger brother who came out halfway, allowing him to rise to the top, and gradually from a small idle official, in a short period of time, to a position almost equal to Wei Niancheng, the position of the Cheng of a country, and the Chinese military officials of the DPRK may be jealous of Wei Niancheng paving the way for him, but no official of the Manchu Dynasty has ever dared to come out and question the means of this Lord Cheng.
Su Yu also knew that Zeng Cong was a person with means, and his methods, unlike Wei Niancheng, were not ruthless, vicious, tyrannical and arrogant, but not leaky, calm and orderly, with his own talents, and he had not been an official for a long time, but the people in the areas under his jurisdiction talked about it, and even the children with milky and yellow hair knew how to praise the prime minister.
As a civil official, Zeng looked like a polite and polite demeanor like a civil servant at first glance, but Su Yu knew that if Zeng Cong was a military general, he must also be a master who did not lose to Xiao Yi.
After inquiring about Zeng Cong's residence with Wei Niancheng, Su Yu rode his horse and rushed over.
Maybe Zeng Cong is a nostalgic person, but now he is in a high position and has been given a mansion by the little emperor, but he has always lived in the place where he started.
Su Yu remembered that the front hall of that place was an inn, and when he went in to ask, it was still the same result as before, that is, the young man was smiling, opened his eyes and said nonsense, and told Su Yu that if my master is not there, he is not there.
If others heard this, they might leave with interest and come back at another time, but Su Yu knew that even if he waited for a lifetime to come back, and when the young shopkeeper buried half of the loess, he would still tell you with a smile that his master was not there, so Su Yu simply turned around neatly, planning to take the "old road".
When Su Yu was looking for Zeng Cong before, he climbed the wall many times, and even which end of the wall of his house was shorter and which end was flatter, and even a nest of swallows lived under the wall on which side, Su Yu climbed clearly and clearly, so now, although it has been a few years, the wall may not know Su Yu a little, but Su Yu still recognizes the wall.
took a few steps back, jumped on the wall, and gently kicked on the wall, like a swallow passing under the corridor, Su Yu had already landed in the back garden of Zeng Cong's house.
The day has entered autumn, and the flowers in the garden have already bloomed, leaving only a few pale yellow chrysanthemums in the corner, and they are still quite interested in competing there, and seeing the figure of the old willows in the garden, Su Yu thinks that maybe Zeng Cong really learned the knowledge of divination, every time she comes in, he is waiting there quietly, it seems that he has already expected her arrival, and seems to like a person, make a pot of tea, and stay quietly.
Uninvited and not feeling restrained, Su Yu naturally decided that the seat opposite Zeng Cong was reserved for her, so she stepped over, sat down, picked up the poured tea, and drank it all with her head up.
Zeng Cong raised his eyes, looked at Su Yu and smiled, poured a cup of tea for her again, the tea was slowly raised in the teacup, the flow of water stopped abruptly, and said softly: "Three mouthfuls are one product, Ah Yu here, but one bite is boring, and it has returned to its true nature." ”
Su Yu looked at Zeng Cong, inexplicably felt a lot more relieved, and said with a smile: "You just said that I will drink good tea and beef to quench my thirst, and what do you say about returning to the truth." ”
"Don't dare."
"Why don't you dare?"
"Don't dare to say that Ah Yu Niu drinks."
Su Yu, "......"
Seeing that Su Yu was speechless, Zeng Cong continued to boast: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Ah Yu's kung fu is getting better and better, if it is lighter, I won't be able to hear it." ”
"How so." Su Yu picked up the teacup again, listened to the breeze in his ears, and his anxious heart lightened a little when he was in a hurry, and he gently took a sip of the tea in the cup. "How could a master like you not notice my arrival!"
The water in the copper kettle slowly flowed out from Zeng Cong's men, and after listening to Su Yu's words, the water flow stagnated for a moment, and then took over the words, as if a friend for many years was pulling a homely routine: "You are Su Yu Su Daxia, there are not many masters recognized by you, I am lucky." ”
Su Yu looked at the fragrant tea in the cup, and said straight to the point: "Mingyue Tower, don't look back, live and enter, die and rest, others can only leave Mingyue Tower when they die, and you are the only one who has come out of Mingyue Tower alive, you are naturally a master, and you are a master who is unmatched in the world." ”
Zeng Cong put the teacup to his nose and sniffed lightly, was silent for a moment, and frowned: "I was wondering if I said something that showed your mouth and made you guess so accurately." ”
Su Yu shook his head, the tea was no longer drunk, and he picked up the candied fruit prepared on the side and put it in his mouth, narrowed his eyes sweetly, and said, "It's not you, it's the old man of Chatuo." ”
Zeng Cong pushed the candied plate towards Su Yu, "Did he invite you to tea?" But it's rare. ”
"Never." Su Yu shook his head again.
Zeng Cong's eyes were slightly rippling, revealing a little frustration, and he also stretched out his slender fingers to twist a candied fruit, and said helplessly: "I think I can figure out the hearts of the people in the world, but when I get to Ah Yu, I have to guess everything wrong." ”
Su Yu smiled and said: "Once I helped Yueling to solve the crisis of Mingyue Tower, living in Wuyue Tulou, the second child in the inn was an elm pimple, and he always forgot to boil the water for me, so when I was thirsty, I went to the old man of Chatuo to find a bowl of tea to drink, but the old man said that the world is full of laymen like me, he lived for such an age, and only drank tea with one person Some similarities, he also said, it is a pity that the person has left Mingyue Tower. ”
Zeng Cong listened, remembered the old man who was neither friend nor foe, was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What does that have to do with me?" It seems that there are no flaws. ”
"Yes." Su Yu drank eight or nine tenths of the tea in the cup, leaving a shallow amount in the cup, soaking a bud that bloomed, and shook it towards Zeng Cong and said: "That time the old man of Chatuo thought of you, and seemed to feel that it was rare to meet a confidant who regarded tea as his life, so he was very sad, and when he poured the tea, he deliberately left a small leaf in the cup, and then looked at it for a while, and then despised me for being vulgar." ”
Zeng Cong looked at a small piece of tea in his cup, like a flat boat drifting alone on the lake, floating and sinking, tossing and turning, his insignificant habit, he never cared, but he didn't want to, not only by Cha Tuo in his heart, but also by Su Yu in his heart.
Drinking the tea in the cup with the tea leaves, Zeng Cong sent down the empty cup, looked at Su Yu and said, "You used your blood to persuade Wei Niancheng, what method do you want to use to persuade me to help you?" ”
